| Also known as a vector font or font scaling, a scaleable font is a font capable of being increased in size without any degradation in the quality of the font. A font that can be manipulated to generate characters of variable sizes. Unlike bit-mapped fonts, the size of the characters can be changed without using a new file or set of character. These fonts are stored as a series of mathematical expressions that define the curves and lines of the characters. 
Above is an example of scalable font vs. a bit-mapped font. As can be seen in this example as we zoom into the scalable font there is no degradation in the quality.
However, it's the complete opposite when we zoom into a bit-mapped font. Also see: Bitmap font, Font, Font scaling, Vector, Video definitions | |
